    My Korean isnt 100% either but I think they also said that merch of sooharang with skates on is selling better than biathlon sooharang? haha And there’s the owner of a motel talking about how around the mens skating events they‘re booked out by women (shocker) (I‘m open to correction by people who actually speak Korean)

    Oh may I also add that I‘m not so much into fanfics? Sorry if that’s complicating the process

    Aww if you actually saw me skate you would not even remotely think "cool" hahah It takes time. Last season all I did was learn skating backwards and crossovers... Did you move to the apartment with the rink??

    They're shaped differently and from what I can see on photos they're made from a harder material and are less bendable so I suspect they cause less friction and spin faster. The ballet spinner was more accessible to me so I bought one. But if you can you might do better by buying a skate spinner... Just saying that the ballet ones also do the job When I first stepped on the ice with my first "real" pair of skates it felt like I was entering a whole new world My first ("fake" lol) skates had really obtrusive toe picks and I fell on my face the first time I tried them out but I eventually got used to them and had no problems at all getting used to my new blades. You just have to make sure to bend your knees and ankles which gets easier once you break in your skates so give it a little time!

    OMG yayyy what skates did you get? Did you skate with them yet? I got the spinner off of amazon and it's cheaper than skate spinners so if you're interested it was similiar to this: https://www.amazon.de/WINOMO-Ballett-Turning-Trainingsgeräte-Tänzer/dp/B0758DBCR8/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1513279823&sr=1-1&keywords=spin+boards

    LOL feel like I'm continuing my own monologue but... the spin board helped! I've been practicing on it every evening and I can do one foot spins on the ice now. Yesterday I hit a secure and well-centered one-foot spin once in 3 attempts or so and some of them felt really good. And my two foot spins have consistently gotten well-centered and fast.

    A thread for streaming parties
  17. robin
    Let's bring them back to counter-act the withdrawal syndromes! Here a list of our previous party threads for those who are new to the planet and this concept: LWOFYPP (fave programs) 09/10 10/11 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 Exhibitions On this thread: Happy Sappy So we were thinking of doing a favorite prgrams streaming party first and then doing a few more season streaming parties in random order. (I am craving the 11/12 season personally!!) @cirelle suggested WR programs which I think could very well be incorporated in to a fave programs streaming party.

    It seems like the artificial Yuzu off-season will continue for some more time... who‘s in for more planet streaming parties? I‘m craving a good season streaming party for sure

    Hey guys, We've been getting some reports about posts being off-topic lately, some of which do not correctly identify OT posts. We are of course more than welcoming to reports as these release some of our workload so to make reports more efficient we want to iterate some of our modding guidelines. The following are specific to the General Yuzuru Thread: A post is off-topic on the General Yuzuru Thread if it contains mentions of skaters that are not Yuzuru in addition to not being even tangentially related to Yuzuru. So for example comparisons to Yuzuru or talk about the friendship between Yuzuru and another skater are completely fine on this thread. The mention of another skater alone does not make a post off-topic. Furthermore we take action only if an off-topic discussion stretches for more than 3-4 posts. That's when we may post a reminder referring to the appropriate threads where the discussion can be continued. Only in very severe cases do we discuss moving posts to the appropriate threads retroactively. I hope this helps you guys in both making accurate reports and also in keeping the General Yuzuru Thread organized. Thank you!!

    I am not very creative but I‘d be glad to join anyway! I would just suggest to maybe ask everyone who signs up if they want to send a physical gift and/or are comfortable with disclosing their address so you can match everyone up accordingly. (But that would ofc complicate the draw a little bit.) I also wonder if there needs to be more time for the physical gifts to be delivered on time but I guess a late delivery won’t be that much of a problem?

    clarification:

    It's just a rumor and not information that comes from Yuzu himself or his team. And going on the ice could mean anything, there's no point in speculating. All we can and should do is trust that Yuzu's team is doing their best to get Yuzu to the Olympics in a good condition.
